GPP 74: Holy As Christ

Some were chosen by God, Christ to receive,
Before creation, ere life had begun;
Yet, any who will in Jesus believe
Is assured of salvation by the Son*!
On believers are wondrous gifts bestowed;
Some rob themselves of the riches they own,
By quenching the Spirit; or seeds unsowed;
Or asking not for promised blessings shown!
Not in the flesh is holiness e’er achieved,
But in heaven will each saved righteous be,
Made so by Christ—His righteousness received—
That all who dwell there are holy as He!
In heaven, no sin is allowed by God;
Therefore, no flesh the streets of gold will trod!

*John 6:37-40

Promise Made: Ephesians 1:3-4 (Paul writes)—
“Praises be to the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him [the Lord Jesus Christ] before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight…” (NIV) [Brackets added]

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
